Title: Method and apparatus for managing debit card/prepaid card services in a telephone network
Inventor: OSTERHOUT GREGORY T
IPC: H04M17/00
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: A Debit Card and Prepaid card Servicing (DPCS) function manages debit card/prepaid card services. The DPCS function is implemented in Signal Switching Points (SSPs) and a Service Control Points (SCP) in the telephone network. A subscriber initiates a debit card/prepaid card transaction via a switch by dialing a telephone number corresponding to the service provider. The switch routes a message to the SCP and provides pertinent debit card/prepaid card information to the SCP. Based upon a remaining value of the debit card/prepaid card, the SCP generates a timeout timer value. The SCP then sends a message to the switch authorizing the switch to route the call, the message including the timeout timer value. If the switch successfully completes the call, it sets a timer corresponding to the timeout timer value. If the timer expires, the switch sends a message to the SCP, which includes the call duration. The SCP deducts the value of the call (based upon the call duration) from the debit card/prepaid card and then may direct the switch to disconnect or continue the call (with additional payment).      When the call is disconnected prior to timer expiration, the switch reports the duration of the call to the SCP and the SCP deducts the value of the call from the debit card/prepaid card.

Patent CA-2321475-A1 (CA)
Title: Establishing connections across a communications network
Inventor: GIBSON MARK ROBERT
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-09-29
Abstract: On receipt of a request for a communication session over a communications network, such as an Internet Protocol communications network, a path for the session is established.      In a preferred example the communications network is an MPLS network and the method uses a modified version of the SIP messaging protocol. Bandwidth along a chosen path is reserved and a messaging protocol such as CR-LDP used to establish this reserved path for the communication session. This creates a delay in the time taken to establish a communication session because the process of choosing a path and reserving bandwidth must be completed before the CR-LDP protocol is used. This delay is reduced by using modified SIP Protocol to perform the CR-LDP function too.
